Three men have robbed a 75-year-old woman at her home in Jonesborough, County Armagh.

The men were driving a silver/grey car when they stopped and asked the woman for directions and as the woman entered her home, after providing the directions, the men forced their way into the house.

The woman was manhandled as the men ransacked the house before escaping with jewellery, cash and car keys.
